[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

"I believe I implied that with the last statement of my question, but sure, I'll bite.  They could have been hoping the critter decided to stay put.  Not that I have much reason to believe they thought it might, given the the gradual expansion of its territory that they'd been documenting. 

"More likely, for one reason or another, they weren't able to assemble a force capable of taking it on.  Nobody around here was exactly volunteering, and there's very few in this city that would even dare to attempt a fight of that caliber to begin with, so that leads me to assume there's some internal politics at play that's either interfering with their capacity to ask for assistance or would require severe concessions from them if they sought that help. 

"That is where my exact knowledge of the situation ends, and it's merely a hypothesis.  But they were desperate enough to rope me into it via their politics with my region.  Implies to me that they have less political leverage with the Mageocracy than they'd like, and had to jump on any more favorable opportunity they could.  Especially with the upcoming festival that they do not want ruined under any circumstances."

Or rather the ones currently in charge, those woeful mutts chasing their tails, lost glory, and polls, ugh."

Morgana rolls her eyes at the last bit, steepling her hands underneath her chin with a put upon huff.

"They and thus could've called in the National Guard, could've should've wouldn't their dear allies, but they didn't! Thus and they feared the loss, the defeat and dour gains that entreating such aid could bargain....and the consequences if that too didn't fair so well dealing with those dreadful winds."

The Fair Lady Smiles, tilting her head at you ever so slightly.

"Now, another question for you, too and true: What could the reason behind such fear, such cavernousness, such defensivenss be? He he he he....."
